U.S. Census Explorer is a software application that is designed to provide tools for intuitive exploration and analysis of United States census data for non-technical users. The application serves as an interface into the U.S. Census Bureau’s data API that enables a complete workflow from data acquisition to data visualization without the need for technical intervention from the user. The suite of tools provided include a graphical user interface for dynamically querying U.S. census data, geographic visualizations, and the ability to download your work to common spreadsheet and image formats for inclusion in external works.

Gms - Guest Management System, Ethan Clark
Williams Honors College, Honors Research Projects
This paper examines the benefits of custom built as opposed to licensed software, using a guest management system as a comparison. The University of Akron employs a web application that allows residents to check guests into each residence hall on campus. In addition to this paper, a custom web application was built to contrast against the university's current system and to recognize the issues raised by its employee staff. This paper is written using the software development lifecycle as its main structure; the planning and analysis through the development process is discussed at length.
